A few weeks ago, I encountered a curious situation involving a poem written about a couple of men from my generation. At first, I wondered if I had a hand in it, given my occasional attempts at verse. But this poem was quite long—some parts funny, others a bit harsh. I found myself questioning who had the time to compose such a piece.
On closer inspection, some lines that should have rhymed didn’t, and several phrases weren’t typical of our local dialect. I’m no tech expert, just familiar enough with my iPhone and laptop, but it soon became clear that something else was behind this work.
The mystery solved itself: the poem was generated by artificial intelligence. A few days later, while chatting with younger folks over a pint and a local sports match, I mentioned the poem. They quickly suggested, “Just use ChatGPT—it can write anything in minutes.”
Curious, I watched as one of them pulled up a six-verse poem about my life created by AI. The app even offered to make it “spicier.” I declined, preferring to focus on the game. It was a harmless example but also a sharp reminder of where technology is headed in 2025.
What This Means for Writers
AI can create content fast—poetry, articles, even complex reports. For writers, this raises practical questions:
- How do we maintain originality when AI can generate text in seconds?
- What role does human judgment play in quality, tone, and authenticity?
- How do we handle potential misuse, like hurtful or misleading content spreading quickly online?
AI-generated content can be harmless fun, but it also carries risks. A malicious user could easily craft harmful verses and circulate them widely through social media in moments.
Writers need to stay aware of these tools—not just as competitors but as resources. Learning how to work with AI, understanding its strengths and limitations, will be key to staying relevant.
